Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
Heard there were lots of good cars there. A 65 fuelie that a friend owns went top flight, this blue/black coupe came to Texas by way of Northern California (Charley).
Also heard that John Lejsal from Houston had his car on a transporter and another car leaked brake fluid all over the original paint job of his 72 big block. It apparently went from the front to back of the car. Ouch......

Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
That car was a mess! It was the original paint on the car too. I was really surprised that the carrying company did not have some sort of basin to stop a leak of some sort. The Fulie car was nice!

Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
Where does liability fall when this happens? My cars have been on the bottom of a transporter many times. Is it the responsibility of the owner of the leaking car or the responsibility of the carrier? I don't know, but if it were my car I would want a paint job.

Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
It is not the falt of the dripping car's owner because how wold he know his car is going to leak? Obviously the falt can't be directed to the owner of the ruined car. I would blame the carrier. If they don't pay for paint then I smell a law suit. This sort of thing could be covered under the 1.5 million dollars of insurance those big carriers have. My view.

Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
Better carriers cover the cars and have drip trays

Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
Carriers have coverage for this and are liable. My '67 project Z arrived from NV with oil stains all over the hood and cowl. Even though it was just old sun-faded paint and primer that had to come off anyway, they gave me $500 for my touble [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: 1967 COPO Corvettes 10?
Saw two great 67 Z's race at Road America last weekend.
The 302's were pulling 8400 RPM with 4:11 gears on the front straight. Ed Jensen and Jim Bradley were the owners, nice guys and beautiful cars. Jim lost his motor on Saturday and was out of Sundays race.
